Pet Loss Support

The first step to offering pet loss support is allowing your natural compassion and empathy to show through. The next steps involve understanding the stages of grief, knowing all the right things to say (and avoiding the wrong things), and being comfortable in silence to simply allow those with you to mourn. Along with all my years in end-of-life work, my training also includes 2 weeks of advanced pet loss support training. Let me help you and your team become a better companion to grieving caregivers.

From Dr. Cooney:
I'm doing some research this week and am hoping you can help me out with some rough numbers. You mentioned in your IAAHPC webinar this summer that you've been to almost every veterinary school in the US. Can you speak to how many have curriculums out there, not just add-in quickie lectures with guest speakers like you or I, dedicated to euthanasia? i.e. euthanasia lectures that are taught every year, tested on, etc. Any feedback you can provide is appreciated :)

And while I've got you, I reached out to you and Mary in July to see if we could take a meeting to talk future Lap of Love alignment with both Cooney Animal Hospice Consulting and my CAETA program. Would you both be interested in a chit chat one of these days?
